“…Plasma actuators, specifically surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) actuators, are surface-compliant electrical devices that can impart momentum into the neighboring fluid through ionization of the local medium inducing Lorentz body force [12]. Despite the small momentum input, plasma actuators have been proposed for a wide variety of uses ranging from aircraft stall control [13,14], deicing [15,16], noise reduction [17], drag reduction [18], tandem airfoil interaction [19], flow mixing enhancement [20], microbial sterilization [21,22] to food preservation [23]. Studies have shown that even though plasma actuators' performance degrade under certain environmental conditions such as excessive humidity [24][25][26], they can be designed to operate in icy [15,16] and wet conditions [27], although this are remains largely unexplored.…”
